Sara Lee outsourcing meats to Cargill: Chicago's Sara Lee Corp. said it has hired Cargill Inc. to produce and process turkeys for its packaged-meat unit as it seeks to cut spending on factories and other capital costs. The company, which also makes consumer goods such as Hanes underwear, said it will purchase about 14 percent of its turkey breast meat from Minnesota-based Cargill.
